If I remember correctly from when I did this same thing, you'll need to
reconfigure because the gid that your mta runs under will be different,
unless of course you've got sendmail and mailman runing as the same gid,
so doing a "./configure --with-mail-gid=whatever
--with-cgi-gid=whateverelse (and whatever other options you need)"
should do the trick.
